Conclusion
Ovid uses the Fasti as a source for the calendar of festivals and also to explain some relative mythology and to praise gods and men. The underlining theme in Ovid’s Fasti Book IV is spring and thus the beginning of the harvesting season. The major goddess’ worshiped in the festivals are Venus and Ceres. Venus related to spring because she is the goddess of beauty, and Ceres is related because she is the goddess of agriculture. Ovid also uses the Fasti to praise his emperor Augustus.
